Hi,
Totally second this ! It would be a great UI addition.
It's true you can select all objects and set their transparency to 70% and obtain a similar result, but doing so, you break all your transparent objects view settings.

Re: A more user friendly Collada .dae exporter
Hi, First words go to thanks for FreeCAD being made available to the public. Trying to give back here :D This is intended to be a drop in replacement for importDAE.py code text.

Re: LibreOffice with Python 3.5
I have not done any more. While I think that integrating LibreOffice freecad would be very beneficial, unfortunately I don't have the programming skill set to pursue this. One of the big stumbling blocks for me is not being able to use an IDE such Eclipse. Sad news, but the lack of dev skills is a ...

Re: BOM (Bill Of Materials) function
G'evening I totally second pushing the BoM feature to the front ! BTW, something I'm wondering, wouldn't it benefit from a a feature packed spreadsheet app ?

Hi, Recently discovered the Alembic Open Source framework from Imageworks/LucasFilm and think it could be a valuable addition for integration with other CG softwares and specially for rendering of FreeCAD designs. Alembic defines itself as "an open computer graphics interchange framework [that]...
